Not sure if it's removable, but it looks like a sticker so maybe? I haven't taken him out of his box yet ^^; Need to buy another small display case for him and some other cars his size. Also gotta find a bigger case for my 1:24 scale Datsun 240Z

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for a good time last weekend.
PorQPine: kick ass collection, man, thanks for the invite.
Would have posted that sooner, but I've been trying to shake a nasty cold all week. I'll post some pics from the event as soon as I feel a bit better.

BTW: I opened my premium Blackout (I have no experience with the fig), and was wondering wtf is the automorph? Is it something to do with the head? The only way I can get the head up in place and the legs in the right position is to force the head up into position, creating several loud clicking noises. Am I doing something wrong? Have I broke it? Please lemme know.

After twisting the lower-half of his body around (his hips and legs will be facing downward now), push the cockpit of his chopper mode upward slightly and his head will automorph into the right position, then move the cockpit downward to have it in place locking its waist into position.

Kinda confusing to explain it, but I just played with it irl without the instructions.

well, I took a drive up to Time Traveler's today. I ended up picking up Energon Scorponok and energon Command Ravage. Ravage was MOC. Scorponok I thought was MISB, but turns out he has been opened. Though he looks like he's barely been touched. The missiles haven't been removed from the box. I was planning on opening him anyways. Scorponok was 24.95 and ravage was 7.95. So not bad.

Chad just called me and said he found the new wave of Joes at Belleville Walmart. He picked up the python patrol figures, vipers, hiss drivers and tiger force flint. He said that Snake Eyes in Parka, Blue Baroness, Cobra Commander with Mass device crystals were still left. There might have been another figure that was left, but I can't remember what he said. Looks like they are hitting in the area though.

Roadblock version two and Major Bludd are the other figures in the wave.

I left behind 3 Snake-Eyes, 3 Cobra Commanders, 3 Baroness's, 3 Roadblocks and 4 of the Vipers.

I bought 5 Vipers, 4 HISS Drivers, 1 Tiger Force Flint, 3 Python Officers, and 2 Major Bludd's

I missed Wave 8 at Livonia WM, only the vipers remained, I bought all 3. You're not the only one that's not interested in the Baroness and Corba Commander, but I will be picking up Roadblock and Parka SE.

I'll just wait for mine to come in at BBTS, unless I happen to just run acrossed them at retail.

Cannot afford to come up empty when gas is so expensive now. Congrats on the finds you lucky guys.

Now lets hope the WINGS, and PISTONS are both as lucky tonight.

Go PISTONS!

Go WINGS! I hate it being on VS. BTW.

I ended up hitting 3 Wal-Marts and I was 3-for-3 with new Joe's. It seems they are everywhere. I picked them up so I could cancel one of my cases from BBTS.

The one Wal-Mart had all the exclusives except Big Daddy, which is the only one I actually want :sad:

Todd, I went back and the Front Loader was gone, sorry.

TT, Thats why I thank the Hockey Gods every day that I get CBC

GO WINGS!!!

Hope you all enjoy the 3-day weekend!! I've been watching the F-16s flying around randomly today at the airport :grin:

Waiting for the BBQ to be ready too..

And a while back, did someone here say they had an Armada Starscream or TC? I don't remember, but I've been browsing eBay lately to try and find one of them.

I just checked Walmart.com and found they have the Jolt and Divebomb (sorry, no Big Daddy

) exclusives available with the site-to-store option even. I was finally able to order my Jolt :3

Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed it. It's always nice to show off the collection room. Hope you are feeling better.

I had a great weekend, my niece and nephew are getting so big!! And I got to eat like a pig.

I finally saw some of the WM Deluxes at my parents' store, only 4 Jolts and a Divebomb. I picked up DB for myself, just to have a complete set, and 2 more Jolts. I'll pass them off at cost+shipping, if anyone is interested, PM me.

The Ypsi Walmart had a whole bunch of the premium deluxes and voyagers (most of which were at the end of the aisle facing the back wall), including a couple premium Jazz (I grabbed one because I was drawn to the shiny

), premium Barricade (just one left), several Stealth Bees and Salvages, etc. No exclusives though.

I've had a couple more job leads open up and I have an interview tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Need job like now...graar! :PRAY:

When did you stop there? I was there around 5:50 tonight. I saw everything you saw. Nothing else though. Belleville walmart had one Premium Bumblebee, but his paint job was really bad. almost looked like a fingerprint on him... I left it there. they still had the new road block and a wild bill as well.

Awesome. I did preorder Grimlock, I think he'll be HTF for quite a while. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find Starscream on my own.

I forgot to post that I actually found Dispensor at the Allen park Target last Fri, I haven't seen him anywhere else.

Yep, RH Dispensor. This was last Fri on my lunch break. I was just there yesterday, and they still had the Battle Jazz/Megatron set from that wave.

I'll try to provide pics this weekend, I'm at work right now.
